| Type: | Family | Name: | ABC transporter, urea permease protein UrtB, archaeal |
| Description: | This entry represents a small group of ABC transporter permease subunits found in archaea. Several lines of evidence suggest they are functionally analogous, as well as homologous, to the UrtB subunit of the Corynebacterium glutamicumurea transporter. All members of the operons in which they are encoded show sequence similarity to urea transport subunits, their genes are located near the urease structural subunits in two out of three species, and partial phylogenetic profiling identifies this permease subunit as closely matching the profile of urea utilization. | Short Name: | ABC_UrtB_arc |
